Image mosaicing: Create High Quality Panoramic Multi-spectral Image by

In computer graphics and virtual reality, multi-spectral and panoramic images are needed. To get a panoramic multi-spectral images, the approach to use a filter transmitting spectral bands are spatially varying is proposed. A filter is attached to an 8-bit black/white camera. Then take images ( there is no parallax).Each scene points are taken many times in different spectral band. After that mosaic images. Here, this image mosaicing have problems which different from traditional RGB-image mosaicing. First, illumination and spectral response greatly effect images. Second, because of using spatially varying filter, value of the scene point of each images are different depend on the position on the each images. Last, if put one upon another in a little shifted, the multi-spectral-data are shifted greatly. So exact mosaicing are needed. This research propose the way of making rotational panoramas using images these are taken by camera which the filter is attached, and the way of mosaicing which is faster and more accurate.

Moreover, I say gratitude also to you of the Ikeuchi laboratory who had you cooperate in order to advance research deeply at this place.
